Book Description

Louis L'Amour July 1, 1998
Louis L'Amour brings you the Wild West as you've never heard it before. This classic story, complete with a full cast, stirring music and authentic sound effects, sweeps listeners back to the rough and ready days of America's frontier, where a man had to live by his wits...and his gun. Death is no stranger to Almagre, a rough boomtown in which the local cemetery, Boot Hill, is almost as crowded as the saloons. Almagre had sprung up in just under two years with a silver strike, and in that short time, it had buried three town marshals.

Into this wild and bloody town rides Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie, trailing a Pecos bank robber who left two men dead. All Bowdrie has to go on is an unconvincing eyewitness description, a name scrawled on a tattered post card...and his own skills as a master tracker. But it's his skill with a gun Bowdrie will need when he looks for answers in Almagre. For the town is gripped in a stranglehold by a ruthless cattle baron named Bonelli. To bring his quarry back, Bowdrie will pin on the marshal's star to face down Bonelli and his gunmen--in a town where a badge is a death warrant.

From AudioFile

This Western adventure featuring Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie is a reminder of all that was great in classic radio-drama, and is proof that the genre is far from dead.The listener is drawn in by the effective music and sound effects, the performance of the cast, and the sheer romantic innocence of this tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is the Bad Guy Anyway?, July 11, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Killer from the Pecos (Louis L'Amour) (Audio Cassette)
Chick Bowdrie tracks a killer to Almagre, a place going full-tilt with the brakes off. Benelli, a local cattle baron, has the town wrapped around his little finger. Chick has a really hard time finding one man among so many bad guys. Oh, and there is of course no marshal...he died stopping a bullet recently. A really good mystery by Louis L'Amour. Well worth the purchase price. Casting of characters was well done, audio is crisp and clear in a car environment. Run time: 60 minutes.
